22 |
After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized. |
23 |
John also was baptizing at Ae’non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized. |
24 |
For John had not yet been put in prison. |
25 |
Now a discussion arose between John’s disciples and a Jew over purifying. |
26 |
And they came to John, i li va dir, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, here he is, baptizing, and all are going to him.” |
27 |
John answered, “No one can receive anything except what is given him from heaven. |
28 |
You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him. |
29 |
He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice; therefore this joy of mine is now full. |
30 |
He must increase, but I must decrease.” |
